Limitations from the README
- Altering hard limit will alter recorded forecast history. This is currently by design and may not change.
- Any zero-length integration JSON files will be removed on startup (see below)
- Sample sites (if set up in your Solcast dashboard) will be included in your forecasts retrieved by this integration and returned to Home Assistant (see below)
- PiHole adblocker (or other adblockers) may block files.pythonhosted.org required to download components for this (and other) integrations (see below)
In ReReHome
Whatever HomeKit Bridge shares reaches Apple Home as normal HomeKit accessories behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls them like any other.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
